    August 2022 Map Update Available

    Tried many times to update the OEM map card on my 2020 (first time since purchase) yesterday. Every time I inserted the SD card in my desktop, I'd get the warning in Toolbox to download the (same) update. (This after the toolbox telling me the card was "locked" a couple of times first, when it...

    Buyout my CX5?

    Heck ya, buy it out...then sell it or trade it in if you really want to change vehicles. Check out Carvana for a quote...my guess is they'd give you 22-24k for it. (I love Soul Red!)

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    My son had to replace the tranny in his old Toyota Tundra (280k miles) at the end 2021. $4k later, the new (Aamco, Naples, FL) tranny broke down twice after picking it up, the first time a day later, the second time (after another month in the shop again) on the way home with me driving it...

    Blind Spot Mirror Recommendations Requested

    +1 on WalMart (and on inside lower spot). The only time I go to a WM anymore is when I get a new car.

    2017~2025 CX-5 Front Windshield Sun Shade…Feedback

    I bought the (similar, in fact, it may be the same one as yours) Proadsy off Amazon for $27 back in November and have been happy with it so far (although it took me 2 weeks to figure out how to close up the thing consistently). If it lasts 2 years in south FL for me, I'll be satisfied. (I skip...

    Windshield broken - What to test after replacement?

    Had extensive hail damage (just the body; no damage to glass) a number of years back on an Explorer. I took the cash from the claim and had nothing fixed. Three years later, pretty much all of the dings had popped out on their own...this was in Minnesota. The only dings I could still see were...

    Rear bumper protector - Form over function - Which do you like?

    My vote would be to leave it, but only because I'm retired and lazy now.

    3D MAXpider All-Weather Floor Mats

    I'm satisfied with mine; would buy again. They are a little thin compared to other brands. Occasionally, I have to bend the 3D logo back into shape so it doesn't catch on someone's shoe.

    Red and black stains on parchment leather

    I tried to use a magic eraser on a stain on a leather ottoman and it made it much worse. I've had great luck using hairspray to remove ballpoint pen ink from leather couches, so it might work in your situation (spray it on the towel, not directly on the leather). Good luck.

    Has anyone added a shield over the cat to prevent theft?

    I asked the officer (jokingly) to paint "GO AWAY!" or "BIG DOG BEHIND YOU!" on my cat...he said they don't paint any words, just put a bunch of lines on there in a loud color, with heat-resistant paint. Anyone can grab a can at Home Depot and do this themselves. It took him 30 seconds. (I...

    Has anyone added a shield over the cat to prevent theft?

    Thanks to all who replied (I did try a search but didn't find the threads Driver posted). The cop who got under my 2020 yesterday to spray it (bless him, it was 95 degrees out) said my cat was very easy to get to and cut out compared to most cars, and they paint hundreds during these programs...

    Has anyone added a shield over the cat to prevent theft?

    I had my catalytic converter spray-painted earlier today by the St. Paul Police (thank you!) to help deter theft. The officer recommended I add an aftermarket (or dealer-added) shield to take it up a notch. Advice?

    Bumper protector - 1 year later...

    Shoot! It never crossed my mind to make an offer - first thing I've purchased off eBay in years. FYI, it shows up in a very small box (fit inside my condo mailbox) and took about 2 weeks to show up.
